CoinTracking vs. Blockpit: Which Crypto Tax Calculator Is Better? (2026)

Before you hand your entire transaction history to a tool, it helps to ask a simple question: who has actually been doing this the longest, and the most?

CoinTracking has been on the market since 2012, the world's first crypto tax calculator, used by over 2.2 million investors who have generated more than 10 million tax reports. Blockpit wasn't founded until 2017, which means it has been in business for considerably less time.

And that's exactly where a tax return succeeds or fails: experience, handling complex cases, calculation methods, and long-term costs. In a direct comparison, this is where the two tools really separate, and CoinTracking comes out clearly ahead.

Quick Comparison: CoinTracking vs. Blockpit at a Glance

Feature	CoinTracking	Blockpit
On the market since	2012 (pioneer)	2017
14+ year track record	✅	❌
Billing	1 year / 2 years / Lifetime, your choice	per tax year
Lifetime plan	✅	❌
All tax years with one plan	✅	❌
Cumulative transaction limit	✅	❌
Entry price	from €39	from €49
DeFi, NFTs & staking	✅	✅
Source of Funds report	✅ included	€19.99/credit
WISO Steuer export	✅	✅

ISO certification	✅ ISO 27001	not stated
Encryption & EU servers	✅	✅
Total country-specific reports	20	10
Global tax advisor network	500+ in 95 countries	❌

The pattern already shows here: CoinTracking has been on the market since 2012, Blockpit only since 2017. On billing, CoinTracking wins out with a Lifetime plan and a cumulative transaction limit, so a single plan can cover every tax year. On top of that, there's anonymous use without an email address and a global tax advisor network with 500+ partners in 95 countries, something Blockpit doesn't offer.

Price Comparison: Blockpit vs. CoinTracking

The pricing model makes the biggest difference. CoinTracking counts your transactions exactly once, across all years combined. Blockpit, on the other hand, bills each tax year separately and invoices it on its own. That's exactly what decides which tool ends up cheaper over time.

CoinTracking Pricing (As of June 2026)

Plan	Price/Year	Transactions (Limit)	Highlight
Free	€0	Portfolio view	no tax report
Starter	€39	200	Tax reports
Pro	€129	3,500	Auto-import, API access
Expert	from €219	from 20,000	Source of Funds report included, tax optimization
Unlimited	€769	unlimited	all features
Corporate	€1,599/year	unlimited per account	3 accounts, white label

Everything is counted only once, across every year combined:

500 transactions (2021) + 500 transactions (2022) = 1,000 total → the Pro plan is enough

If your history is larger, the Expert plan scales in tiers from 20,000 to 100,000 transactions. You can find more details on our CoinTracking pricing page.

Blockpit Pricing (As of June 2026)

Plan	Price	Transactions (per tax year)
Portfolio tracking	€0	free forever, no tax report
Small	€49	50
Medium	€99	1,000
Large	€149	3,000
X-Large	€229	10,000
XX-Large	€549	over 10,000

Blockpit works the other way around: each tax year is billed fresh, and the price depends on that year's own transaction count.

Example Calculation 1: Beginner With One Tax Year

Scenario: 1 tax year, 100 transactions	Total cost
Blockpit Medium	€99
CoinTracking Starter	€39

The difference shows up in year one already. With around 100 transactions, you need Blockpit's Medium plan for €99, since the Small plan only covers 50 transactions. With CoinTracking, the Starter plan at €39 is enough.

Example Calculation 2: Heavy User Across Five Tax Years

Scenario: 5 tax years × 1,000 transactions	Total cost
Blockpit Medium (5× €99)	€495
CoinTracking Expert (one-time)	€219

Say you want tax reports for the years 2021 through 2025. With Blockpit, you buy five separate annual reports. With CoinTracking, a single Expert plan with 20,000 transactions covers everything at once. You generate all five reports at no extra cost, and as long as your plan stays active, additional years are included too. Once multiple tax years add up, this pricing math becomes the strongest argument for CoinTracking.

Features in Detail: Where Are the Differences?

Both tools handle the basics: importing transactions, classifying them automatically, and generating a tax report from them. The details make the difference: how deep the portfolio analysis goes, how well complex cases are handled, and which evaluations come at no extra cost. The tables below break this down in detail.

Feature	CoinTracking	Blockpit
Full-service incl. tax return	✅ via partner tax firms	❌ data preparation only
Portfolio analytics	✅	€ (Plus subscription)
Profit/loss analysis	✅	€ (Plus subscription)
Auto-sync (automatic import)	✅ (from Pro)	€ (Plus subscription)
Free full-service initial consultation	✅	❌
White label (for tax firms)	✅	❌
Professional/corporate solution	✅	❌

Some of these checkmarks hide more than they show. With full-service, CoinTracking's partner tax firms handle the complete tax return, and the initial consultation is free. Blockpit doesn't offer a free initial consultation and limits itself to data preparation, so it doesn't produce a complete tax return. Another difference: several analysis and optimization features at Blockpit are only available with the paid Plus subscription. For tax firms, the difference shows up in white labeling too: CoinTracking's Corporate plan allows its own branding, an option Blockpit doesn't offer.

Crypto Tax Report Comparison

Feature	CoinTracking	Blockpit
Full PDF tax report	✅	✅
Crypto gains & losses	✅	✅
Crypto income	✅	✅
Crypto holding period	✅	✅
Crypto exemption limit	✅	✅
Per-wallet calculation	✅	✅
German tax report (Anlage SO)	✅	✅
Choice of multiple calculation methods	✅	❌
Tax calculation methods	14	1 (FIFO)
WISO Steuer export	✅	✅

On the core components of the tax report, both tools are evenly matched: PDF report, gains, losses, income, and holding periods, everything compatible with the German Anlage SO. The choice of method makes the difference.

With CoinTracking, you can adjust every transaction type yourself and choose between 14 calculation methods. Blockpit calculates strictly by FIFO for Germany. That gives you more room with CoinTracking to legally optimize your tax burden within BMF (Federal Ministry of Finance) guidance. This flexibility pays off especially with nested portfolios that involve many transaction types.

Countries and Tax Forms

Country (country-specific report)	CoinTracking	Blockpit
Germany (Anlage SO, BMF-compliant)	✅	✅
Austria	✅	✅
Switzerland	✅	✅
United Kingdom (UK)	✅	✅
United States (US)	✅	✅

Finland	✅	❌
Denmark	✅	❌
Poland	✅	❌
Ireland	✅	❌
Total country-specific reports	20	10
Total countries (generic report)	100+	100+

Covering countries with a generic report is standard today, and both tools offer it. The depth is what sets them apart: how many countries actually get a fully locally-compliant tax form? This is exactly where CoinTracking pulls ahead, delivering country-specific reports for 20 countries, twice as many as Blockpit. Both providers are strong across the DACH region. But if you trade internationally, live abroad, or are planning a move, CoinTracking has you covered in eleven additional markets that Blockpit doesn't serve locally.

Portfolio Tracking & Analytics

Feature	CoinTracking	Blockpit (without Plus subscription)
Real-time portfolio	✅	✅
Balance per exchange	✅	❌
Balance per currency	✅	✅
Coins per exchange	✅	✅
Realized gains	✅	✅
Average price	✅	✅

Missing transactions	✅	✅
Duplicate transactions	✅	✅
Unrealized gains	✅	❌
Tax-free coins (short & long)	✅	❌
Coin charts	✅	❌
Tax optimization	✅	❌
Automatic synchronization	✅	❌

At first glance, both portfolio trackers look similar. The difference shows up in the price tag for detail. CoinTracking gives you more than just basic tracking and includes extensive analysis features at no additional cost, since every evaluation counts for serious crypto investors. Anyone who tracks positions continuously and keeps an eye on holding periods benefits from CoinTracking's full report depth without a subscription surcharge.

Lifetime Pricing Model

CoinTracking doesn't count transactions per tax year, it counts them across all years combined. Over time, that adds up to a noticeable cost advantage, since additional payments for a long history simply don't apply. With CoinTracking's Lifetime models, you even benefit permanently, covering future tax years too. Blockpit doesn't offer a comparable Lifetime option.

Source of Funds Report

The Source of Funds report is included with CoinTracking at no extra cost from the Expert plan onward. It documents to banks and tax authorities where your crypto assets came from. At Blockpit, every single report costs €19.99, though buying several at once brings the price down slightly.

Reports like this are becoming more important. Banks and tax offices are asking for them more and more often, especially for larger withdrawals or new accounts. On top of that, a new reporting obligation now applies to crypto providers. Starting in 2026, they collect data on your transactions. The first report to Germany's Federal Central Tax Office (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern) is due in 2027, covering the 2026 tax year.

Source for the reporting obligation: Federal Central Tax Office — Crypto Asset Tax Transparency Act (KStTG / DAC8)

DeFi Depth

Both tools cover DeFi, NFTs, and staking. The differences show up in the level of detail. CoinTracking processes multi-protocol activity like yield farming, liquidity mining, and lending, and automatically assigns it to the tax calculation. Blockpit handles DeFi too, but deliberately keeps its interface lean. With heavily nested, multi-protocol portfolios, that quickly becomes too coarse for experienced users.

What CoinTracking Offers That Blockpit Doesn't

CoinTracking has been on the market since 2012 and still connects to old, long-defunct exchanges to this day. That makes it possible to fully reconstruct even complex portfolios with a long history, many exchanges, and nested DeFi activity, without gaps.

Then there's the analytical depth: over 25 customizable reports, flexibly configurable calculation methods, a built-in audit check, and a read-only portfolio view for securely sharing with your tax advisor. This flexibility gives experienced users control over every single transaction.

With full-service, an expert team takes the work off your hands, from import through review to the finished tax report. Getting started is non-binding: you begin with a free 15-minute call in which the team assesses what you need.

Bottom line, CoinTracking gives you more for your money: full report depth, every analysis feature without a separate add-on subscription, and a pricing model that stays cheaper across multiple tax years.

Which Tool Fits Which User?

Both tools have their use cases, but for most serious crypto investors, the path leads to CoinTracking. The breakdown below shows when that's especially true, and when Blockpit is enough.

When CoinTracking Is the Better Choice

CoinTracking fits nearly every use case and is the right solution for most crypto investors. That's especially true when:

• you want an affordable entry point from the start.
• you need to work through multiple tax years.
• you've traded on many exchanges, including older or now-defunct platforms.
• your portfolio is DeFi-heavy, with yield farming, lending, and staking across many protocols.
• you need a Source of Funds report at no extra cost.
• accuracy and report depth matter to you, with over 25 configurable reports.
• a tax firm wants to generate branded reports through the Corporate plan.

When Blockpit Is Enough

For simpler cases, Blockpit is enough, for example when:

• you're starting out with few transactions and no complicated DeFi history.
• you just need a free portfolio tracker without a tax report, for now.
• a lean interface is enough and you don't need CoinTracking's report depth.

Switching From Blockpit to CoinTracking

Switching takes less work than most people expect. Three steps are enough, and your history carries over completely:

1. Provide your data: Connect your exchanges and wallets directly to CoinTracking via API, such as Bitpanda. This is the recommended method, since your complete history comes straight from the source. Alternatively, you can export your transaction history from Blockpit as a CSV file and import it into CoinTracking.
2. Check the classification: Review your imported transactions, for example staking, transfers, or purchases.
3. Generate your tax report: Create your Anlage-SO-compatible report.

Your entire crypto history stays fully intact throughout the process.

Conclusion: Blockpit or CoinTracking?

Overall, CoinTracking is the better solution: for multiple tax years, for extensive DeFi activity, and anywhere report depth matters. As a crypto tax calculator, its cumulative pricing model also makes it significantly cheaper over time. For most investors with a serious crypto history, CoinTracking is therefore the obvious choice.
